Overview of Courses
Real Estate Investment Trusts take a different life of their own by aggregating all the real estate investments and development projects the REIT manages and owns. The individual line items per property are not as relevant as everything in totality. The process of quantifying construction-in-progress, acquisitions and new development starts on the overall REIT entity to arrive at a solid set of projections is the goal in our REIT module.

NOTE:
Our REIT Model is not yet available in our streaming-video online format; however, we do make it available for purchase. The REIT Model starts at $750 USD (see below), which includes access to our Core Model online class, completed industry model and an optional half hour consultation with Hamilton Lin, CFA, our President & Founder, after you have reviewed the model. See details below:

1) ONLINE ACCESS
Our REIT Model builds upon our Advanced Financial Model - Core Model online course. The "Core Model" builds the fully integrated model but is not REIT- specific (actually it uses a retail company with base-case accounting). Below are the following purchase options for our REIT-specific courses:

Completed, standalone REIT model (Model)*: $750
Model + 1 month online access to Core Model: $900
Model + 6 month online access to Core Model: $1,000
Optional Consultation to review model: $500 for half hour (see below)
* Model also includes any relevant industry overview slides.

2) INTERACTIVE, EXCEL-BASED MODELING
The above referenced "Core Model" course is excel-based modeling. Pls see http://www.wstselfstudy.com/package3.html for more information. Click on video learning platform and product demo links to learn more. Note: Basic excel skills are required (and sufficient) as the Core Model course will get you up to speed on Excel shortcuts and model building best practices very quickly.

3) TIME TO COMPLETION
The Core Model is about a full day of work. You can break up the course however you like, based on your free time - an hour here and there, etc. Hence, we allow for different duration options based on your timing and availability. Add to that the amount of time it takes you to go thru the completed industry specific model supplied to you.

4) CONSULTATION
Hamilton Lin, CFA is our President and Founder. He is all over youtube (search for wall st training). He personally constructed the industry specific models. The consultation would be done via conference call at a mutually convenient time to be arranged after completion of the Core Model online course and going through the industry specific model.

To order, contact us specifying which industry-specific model and option you are interested in.

5) RESTRICTIONS
The REIT Model cannot be used by more than one person. By placing an order and purchasing the Model, you agree not to distribute the model and to use it only for personal usage. You agree to our Terms of Use, http://www.wstselfstudy.com/reitmodel.html
